Homemade Au Gratin Potatoes
Description
This classic Au Gratin Potatoes recipe involves slicing peeled potatoes thinly and layering them in a dish rubbed with garlic and butter. The potatoes are covered with a warm cream and milk mixture seasoned and sprinkled liberally with Gruyere cheese before baking at 375°F until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
The Gruyere adds a nutty, slightly sharp flavor that complements the rich creaminess, while the garlic rubbed on the baking dish imparts subtle depth. The layered construction ensures even cooking and a soft, silky texture inside with a lightly crisp crust on top.
This dish serves well as a comforting side for roasted meats, poultry, or vegetables, offering a satisfying combination of creamy, cheesy, and tender potato bites.
Ingredients
- 7 large potato peeled and sliced thin, Yukon gold variety
- 1 clove garlic cut in half
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- salt
- black pepper
- 4 ounces gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and slice the potatoes. Place the slices of potatoes in a bowl filled with cold water as you cut them so they don't turn brown.
- Rub the two halves of garlic on the sides and bottom of a 2.5 liter or 3-quart casserole dish. Spread butter along the sides and bottom of the dish.
- Heat the heavy cream and milk on medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
- Drain the water from the sliced potatoes. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish and top with salt and pepper.
- Pour half of the heated cream mixture over the potatoes, and sprinkle half of the cheese, then repeat all the layers again.
- Bake until potatoes are soft and golden brown on top, about 50 to 55 minutes.
